Joburg Water cites reservoir leak as taps run dry, once again, in parts of Randburg

JOHANNESBURG - Several areas in Randburg have been left without water once again as the Honeydew reservoir is struggling to build capacity.

It's understood that residents in areas including Sundowner, Honeydew, Northgate and Northriding have been facing water interruptions since the start of the Easter long weekend.

While some residents have low water pressure, taps in high-lying areas are dry.

Ward councillor Devon Steenkamp says Joburg Water needs to find a permanent solution to the water problems in Randburg.

He says the water utility has attributed the recent interruptions to a leak at the Honeydew reservoir, and a restriction in the system from Rand Water's end.

Steenkamp says water tankers can be found at Honeydew Eco Village, Puttick Avenue, Denne Sundowner, and at 252 Montrose Avenue, Northgate. 

Steenkamp urged residents with water supply in the affected areas to use it sparingly.
